Giants keep Adrianza after infielder clears waivers

SAN DIEGO -- The Giants received their wish Saturday as infielder Ehire Adrianza cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento.

Adrianza cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last Sunday, when the Giants made their final cuts to set their Opening Night roster. He lost the competition among himself, Matt Duffy and Joaquin Arias for a utility man's spot. But the Giants didn't want to lose Adrianza, who possesses considerable defensive skill.
